very beautifull and be carefull------some members might be emailing you and asking for a deal on Wedding Rings! or( do they have Divorce Rings, yet?) . now there is a coming item!---- first rate shells,precise bearing edges ,impeccable triple plated chrome,diecast parts(partially shared with Premier and B&H). it's difficult to look at those drums and not wonder----what would John Grey be making now , if they had managed to hang in there aginst the onslaught of underengineered cheap garbage from Japan that they had to contend with?--- price and idiots speak the same language : how else can you explain Walmart and McDonalds; but fortunately value and wisdom do too; that's how you ignore Walmart and McDonalds.-----------i have an original set of wires for the snare if you are interested; 12 carbon steel wires; labelled JOHN GREY ENGLAND on each end. I also have a contemporary set of Premier New Idea wires as well. The difference is an interesting study. I will post about this. Enjoy this kit Dave. all the best.

"D" you show off!!.Nice set love the color..Now just one question when are you going to ship the set to me?.I dont have one....Mikey

I likely have them, Dave. Could you measure the head height, the shank length and the thread length(mm or in. -doesn't matter). I have quite few that could fit the bill but having the exact specs, gets the job done. They are the same thread as Premier and Ajax, mostly but getting the thread diam. and t.p.i. would help too.
